* M O L T E N SULPHUR The discharge lines from the wells deliver the sulphur into sumps at collecting stations which are located near the area being "steamed." The sump is dimensioned to suit operating conditions, as well as the number o f wells supplying sulphur. Cast iron has been found the most suitable material for lining the sump, and for the steam coils on the bot tom and at the sides which keep the sulphur in a liquid state. When the sump is reason ably full, pumps force the liquid sulphur through insulated pipe lines to the vats. The pumps are especially designed for this service, the moving parts being either sub merged in liquid sulphur or steam-jacketed.
